    Talk Into Tune

    Talk into tune When Toronto musician Charles Spearin asked his neighbours about happiness, he didn't just listen to their answers - he turned them into songs CARL WILSON From Wednesday's Globe and Mail Published on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2009 4:45PM EST Last updated on Thursday, Apr. 09, 2009 11:39PM EDT As a piano-trumpet duo skitters around her, a person with a pleasant professional accent talks about her work with “challenged young women” who tell her “all the time” that they're happy. “Some of their expectations are so simplistic – not to say simplicity because they're challenged … ” Then the thought strikes: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” Immediately the voice repeats: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” And again: “It's like they don't ask beyond of what's present.” At which point the music makes its own breakthrough. Keyboard and horn link arms with bass and drums and kick out a chorus to the precise tune and tempo of the woman's words. You can almost see her with brass band and challenged charges on parade through New Orleans, fanfaring their be-here-now anthem – sing it, sister! – It's Like They Don't Ask Beyond of What's Present! This is Anna, Track 2 of The Happiness Project, the first solo album by Toronto musician Charles Spearin, which was released yesterday. Actually, solo is a misnomer. A multi-instrumentalist with tight-knit space-rock ensemble Do Make Say Think as well as that legions-strong study in socio-rockology, the popular band Broken Social Scene, Spearin prefers company – in this case, his whole neighbourhood.

    Representations of Germans and the Use of Language in Turksih

    REPRESENTATIONS OF GERMANS AND THE USE OF LANGUAGE IN TURKSIH- GERMAN FILMS BY FATIH AKIN AND THOMAS ARSLAN by JASON B. WHITTIER (Under the Direction of Christine Haase) ABSTRACT Over the past twenty-five years Turkish-German films have emerged and achieved prominence among German cinema. Tevfik Baser’s 1986 film 40 Quadratmeter Deutschland paved the way and inspired many of today’s successful and diverse Turkish-German directors. Recent research on Turkish-German cinema has been primarily concentrated on the representation of Turkish and bi-national identity issues in German society.However, another angle I examinein my thesisis the representation of non-minority Germans and the role of the German and Turkish language. I will focus my analysis on films by Fatih Akin and Thomas Arslan, who have had a significant impact in Turkish-German cinema. While these directorsoffer different perspectives on identity issues facingTurkish-Germans, bothdepict Germans as minorities within the confines of their own cities. One strategyfor this marginalization of the majority revolves around these directors’use of language and subtitles.

Niko lives for the moment as he drifts through the streets of Berlin, curiously observing everyone around him and oblivious to his growing status as an outsider. Then on one fateful day, through a series of absurdly amusing encounters, everything changes: his girlfriend dumps him, his father cuts off his allowance, and a strange psychiatrist dubiously confirms his 'emotional imbalance'. Meanwhile, a former classmate insists she bears no hard feelings toward him for his grade-school taunts when she was “Roly Poly Julia,” but it becomes increasingly apparent that she has unfinished business with him.

    Transmedial Collaborative Productions in Secret Path and Airplane Mode

    DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-8026.2018v71n2p189 TRANSMEDIAL COLLABORATIVE PRODUCTIONS IN SECRET PATH AND AIRPLANE MODE Camila Figueiredo1* 1Editora Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil Abstract he term “transmedia” has gained popularity in the entertainment industry and has been widely used to designate the use of several media platforms that converge to tell a story. As a result, transmedia changes the modes of consumption and production of contemporary cultural products. On one hand, transmedial projects attract consumers that are no longer just readers or players (or users, spectators, etc.), but are a combination of them. On the other hand, these projects oten require “superproducers” or “superartists”, with knowledge and skills in various media, or a well- planned collaboration between producers or artists. In this article, we will examine the collaborative productions in the Canadian Secret Path (2016) and in the Brazilian Airplane Mode (2017) transmedial projects. Keywords: Transmedia; Transmedia Project; Transmedia Franchise; Secret Path; Airplane Mode. * Doctor in Comparative Literature from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil.
